I've been doing a little investigation of what is actually installed with Standalone when you install it with an Oracle Local Database. I personally thought that Oracle Express edition (XE) is the database that is installed, but when I check both the 9.0.2 Standalone AND the 9.0.1 Standalone, I see the following :

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Prod
[/ QUOTE ]
To make sure, I checked a running deployment server that I just installed from edelivery.oracle.com, and received the exact same version.
When I check the MTR I see the following note (under Deployment Server MTR) :
[ QUOTE ]
· Oracle Database 10g R2 Enterprise Edition – Customers should choose to use Oracle Database 10g R2 Enterprise Edition as the local database for the deployment server if they intend to standardize on Oracle technology or if they are concerned about exceeding the 4 GB data limit with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express. Customers who choose to use Oracle Database 10g R2 Enterprise Edition should note the minimum hardware recommendations above.
· If the deployment server is running on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, then Oracle Database 11g R2 Enterprise Edition is required as the local database. Oracle provides a specific installation program for this purpose. For instructions on installing Oracle Database 11g R2 as the local database for the deployment server refer to My Oracle Support document 705463.1: "Update 23: All Platforms and Databases – Deployment Server Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Development Client Support for Microsoft Windows 7.”

The planned Statement of Direction (note ID 749393.1) states the following :

Withdrawals : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express as the local database for deployment server and development client. Future releases will use only Oracle Database for the local database
[/ QUOTE ]
So what is going on here ? Is Oracle "sneaking" Enterprise Edition versions of the database onto clients and deployment servers - and suddenly everyone is going to be hit with a big license fee ? Whats the cost of 300 developers on a project using this model ?!
Or is Oracle "waiving" license fees for the EnterpriseOne Local Database ? Not even "standard" edition is valid, the MTR specifically states Enterprise Edition.
